Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1059: Preparation before upgrading

After arriving in Tianjin, everyone put down their luggage at the hotel and started to rest.

Lin Yu was there, repeatedly thinking over the "new script" given by Shen Bingmiao, wondering how he would perform it if it were him.

The plot and structure of this "script" are not particularly complicated, but as an actor, Lin Yu can see at a glance that this is a script that places great emphasis on the acting ability of the "actors".

Shen Bingmiao handed the "script" to him before arriving in Tianjin, which also gave Lin Yu the opportunity to ask the "senior" for advice.

Tianjin has had a strong atmosphere of opera culture since ancient times. For any profession that performs on stage, Tianjin is a good place to "test the level".

From the nationally renowned "crosstalk" culture to traditional drama performances and nowadays modern drama, Tianjin has a group of audiences who have passed down from generation to generation with extremely high appreciation standards and are very generous in criticizing and praising, and have indirectly nurtured the best quyi practitioners.

In other words, it is precisely because of the existence of these audiences that everyone gathers here without any prior arrangement.

And Shen Bingmiao had already posted the news of inviting the senior in the group - he was a veteran drama actor from Tianjin, born after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and studied Pingju Opera seriously with the drama troupe. Later, after being exposed to drama, he devoted himself to this new form of performance, and gradually gained fame and entered the national troupe.

Later, film studios were established, as were local television stations. This "old actor" was often invited to appear in movies and TV series, but he declined them all. When it came to "acting", this old man was also very stubborn. He insisted that the acting he had learned was all "facing the audience directly", and that acting without facing the camera was not completely related to what he had learned and researched. Therefore, if he relied on his fame to "participate" in those screen works, he would be "sorry to the audience".

therefore……

This old man's name rarely appears in the public eye and is not considered "famous".

But in the industry, this old man's name is still very famous.

Shen Bingmiao set a meeting time for tomorrow - now the old gentleman no longer performs on stage, he just opened a small class and occasionally went to some universities to take some elective courses, so he had a lot of free time.

Full of anticipation, Lin Yu was awakened by the alarm clock he set the next morning.

Then, after a quick wash and sorting out some questions he wanted to ask about performance, Lin Yu followed Shen Bingmiao and the drama club members to an inconspicuous small theater.

This is where the old senior usually teaches.

When they opened the iron gate, which was a bit old and had obviously been painted several times, Lin Yu and his group were surprised to find that the old man was already waiting at the door.

Looking at the drama club members who came over, the old man waved and greeted them with a kind smile.

"Welcome everyone, welcome students."

Shen Bingmiao also stepped forward and started chatting with the old man: "Mr. Zhang, I'm Xiao Shen who contacted you before. This is our Jiangcheng Media Drama Club."

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, you are all good children. Come into the house!"

Shen Bingmiao had obviously already contacted Mr. Zhang in advance to finalize the itinerary and procedures. Mr. Zhang had also made sufficient preparations and had already cleaned up the stage and asked the drama club to rehearse. He would watch everyone's performance from below first.

After rehearsing once and performing briefly, Mr. Zhang also began to instruct everyone on their performance. Although most members of the drama club, under the guidance of Lin Yu, had acting skills far exceeding the level of students, they could still see many shortcomings in front of this veteran actor who had dedicated most of his life to acting.

Starting from each person's specific performance problems, he directly introduced performance techniques, and taught them the techniques summarized from decades of experience in an easy-to-understand manner, which benefited everyone a lot.

Combined with the solid theoretical foundation that the old teacher has accumulated over many years of teaching, many theories that I have heard in class now have new interpretations.

Especially the old man who demonstrated from time to time - although he inevitably has problems with physical strength and muscle control due to his age, he still showed wonderful acting skills.

After asking one question after another, Mr. Zhang's gaze finally fell on Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was the lead actor in this performance, and Mr. Zhang could naturally see that his acting skills were significantly better than anyone else in the entire drama club.

He looked at Lin Yu on the stage and sat in the audience, thinking for a long time before speaking.

"Student Lin Yu, right... When Xiao Shen first contacted me, he told me that your drama club had an incredible 'pillar.' I've taught many talented students, and I thought you might be like the best student I've ever seen—but after you started performing, I realized I underestimated you."

"If the most outstanding young people I've met in the past were compared to unpolished jade... then you would be the Heshi Bi—not only do you possess far greater talent than all of them combined, but you also possess a high degree of 'completeness.' When I was your age... or at my best, after more than a decade of acting experience, I was roughly at your current level."

"Your 'acting' is impeccable, and I can see your serious attitude and passion for acting... Honestly, I don't have much to teach you. Xiao Shen probably brought you here purely to open the eyes of an old man like me."

Lin Yu stood on the stage and bowed slightly: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang, you are too kind. I have seen some videos of your live performances, and there is indeed a gap between me and you."

"You're being modest," Mr. Zhang waved his hand. "But after thinking about it just now, I did find a point that I could barely give some advice on..."

The veteran actor looked at Lin Yu and said seriously, "Your acting is a little too real, so real that sometimes I almost forget you are acting, as if every joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are 'genuine'... This is a very high realm - for an actor, this may be a good thing, but..."

"Can you still express your emotions and thoughts normally?"

When Lin Yu was asked this question, he stood on the stage, stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course."

The old man nodded. "Many actors, due to their superb acting skills, often cause inconvenience to their own lives... This may be a topic that you need to pay more attention to than how to improve your acting skills."

"I'll pay attention."

Lin Yu said this and looked at Shen Bingmiao in the audience.

Lin Yu suddenly realized that...this tour and this meeting with the senior, Shen Bingmiao seemed to be more than just holding a normal drama club activity.

Because it was related to "performance", Lin Yu was a little slow.

But now Lin Yu reacted...

This seemed like an "appetizer" specially prepared for his "Level 3" "Upgrade Trial".

after all……

The "Death Game", especially the "Exclusive Items", is closely related to each person's self-perception.
